The intersection at Chambers Street and West 11th Avenue will close to traffic for a week starting today, for repaving. Traffic on West 11th Avenue will be reduced to one lane during this period.

The city’s West 11th Avenue paving and accessibility improvement project is repaving about 1-1/4 mile of West 11th, from Grant Street to Charnelton Street. The project also is reconstructing sidewalk access ramps.

Construction began in late 2024 and is set to last through this summer.

According to a city of Eugene press release, the repaving is beginning on the north side of the intersection, July 17 through July 21. Traffic traveling north on Chambers Street will need to turn onto West 11th. Traffic traveling south will use Garfield Street and Polk Street instead.

Work will then move to the south side of the intersection from July 22 to July 24. Traffic traveling north on Chambers Street will use Garfield and Polk instead, and traffic traveling south will turn onto West 11th.
